Xiao Maha smiled and turned the wine bowl down, meaning that he would not drink it anymore.

After his gaze wandered over Yang Ming and Xu Jing, he said curiously:

"Who is this kid?"

Xiao Maha was not curious about Xu Jing's identity, because Xu Jing was a subordinate at first glance, and he didn't need to look at his clothes, just look at his lowly appearance.

Yang Ming is different, the half-grown child gives people a deep sense of old-fashionedness, which makes people leave a deep impression at a glance.

Chen Shuyi didn't answer him immediately, but said with a frosty face:

"When are you going to die?"

Yang Ming almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and the opening remarks of the master and apprentice seemed to be too novel.

Xiao Maha is also a cheeky person, he picked up his beard and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile:

"It's almost fast, don't worry, maybe I'll die tomorrow."

Chen Shuyi slapped the table violently, startling Yang Ming:

"Do you still listen to me?"

"Listen to it......." Xiao Maha raised his hand and said, "As long as you don't slap the table again, I will listen to everything." ”

Chen Shuyi snorted coldly and looked at Yang Ming: "Okay, let's talk." ”

No way? Won't you give me an introduction?

Yang Ming shook his head helplessly, and arched his hand towards Xiao Maha and said, "Under Yang Ming, I have seen Senior Xiao. ”

"Yang Guang's son?" Xiao Maha was stunned, his eyes glancing at his apprentice.

Chen Shuyi frowned and said, "Didn't my father tell you that I am in the Jin Palace?" ”

Xiao Maha said with a blank face: "Although Your Majesty and I are both in Daxing, we have never met, by the way, what are you doing in the Jin Palace?" ”

Chen Shuyi was about to answer, but was interrupted by Yang Ming in advance:

"Shuyi is the lord of this king."

Yang Ming is now the king of the county, and he has the power to open the palace, and he can set up his own subordinate officials such as Changshi, Sima, Recorder, Peng, Sacrificial Wine, Literature, Master Book, and Records, all of which are of high grade.

Among them, the main book is the secretary in layman's terms, and the main book of the other county kings is all men, and Yang Ming is a female secretary here.

When Chen Shuyi heard Yang Ming's answer, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she was relieved again,

If there is no accident in his life, he should not be able to get out of Yang Ming's palm, he can do whatever he wants.

Xiao Maha was curious: "A woman can also be an official?" ”

"Of course not," Yang Ming pointed to Chen Shuyi, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said, "This is obviously a man." ”

Xiao Maha looked stunned,

On the other hand, Chen Shuyi offered her signature white eyes, which were rolled, and if she put a rope around her neck, the whole thing would be hanged.

"You're too childish, Yang Guang will allow you to be so nonsense?" Xiao Moke said.

Is it so complicated to change the name and no one has studied it deeply? Yang Ming replied in a deep voice:

"Please call my grandfather King Jin, I hope Senior Xiao will not say the wrong thing next time."

Xiao Maha was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "When I dealt with your father, you weren't born yet. ”

Yang Ming smiled: "My grandfather has never mentioned Senior Xiao, but I often hear He Ruobi mention you." ”

The other party has a mouthful of Yang Guang, how old are you, Yang Guang is your name?

Xiao Maha was immediately furious, and was about to get up and leave directly, but was called back to his place by Chen Shuyi with the sentence "sit down".

There is no way, he is really afraid of his apprentice, not because the other party was the princess of Jiu Chen, and there is a difference between dignity and inferiority.

It's because Chen Shuyi is his only apprentice, and the master-apprentice relationship is deep.

The reason why Xiao Maha got angry when he heard the words "He Ruobi" was because He Ruobi was his old opponent.

In the battle to destroy Chen that year, Xiao Maha was the supreme military commander of Lao Chen, and the person who directly confronted him was He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou at that time.

In the end, it was He Ruobi who captured him alive,

Afterwards, he often boasted about the battle to destroy Chen, and satirized Xiao Maha's incompetence, but it was He Ruobi.

The battle between Sui and Chen, to this day, is still the talk of everyone after dinner, so that Xiao Maha has a feeling of self-pride in Daxing.

Especially the rumors of the Sui generals who participated in the destruction of Chen that when Xiao Maha was charging in front, Chen Shubao slept with his wife in the back.......

Therefore, Yang Ming guessed that Xiao Maha refused to meet Chen Shubao, most likely because he couldn't get over this hurdle.

After Xiao Maha was silent for a long time, he said with a drooping face:

"You asked me to meet, just to let the family count me down?"

Chen Shuyi shook her head and said, "I really want someone to wake you up and look at your current appearance, is it still the hussar general I was back then?" ”

"Huh, General?" Xiao Maha shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just a lost dog's ear." ”

Seeing that the other party was depressed and in a state of malaise, Yang Ming doubted whether he should come to see the other party today.

"I won't talk nonsense, I asked Shuyi to meet Senior Xiao today, I want to ask you to join the army of my palace, Senior Xiao can think about it."

"Hehe......" Xiao Maha said: "The old man has heard about His Royal Highness being crowned king, but you haven't taken up the domain yet, and there are soldiers in the house?" ”

"No," Yang Ming said.

Xiao Maha said: "Then don't I have no soldiers to lead?" ”

"Yes, not a single one," Yang Ming nodded.

Xiao Maha turned his gaze to Chen Shuyi, who said:

"Just because there is no soldier, so I need the master's help to recruit the government soldiers, now the palace is already under construction, and it can be completed within two years, His Royal Highness means that I hope the master can go to Hedong."

After speaking, Chen Shuyi gave her master a look again and again.

Xiao Maha bowed his head in contemplation.

He really didn't want to stay in Kyoto any longer, he really couldn't stand those rumors and the contemptuous eyes of the Sui generals when they looked at him.

And it is a fact that the old Chen has perished, and he will not be unable to let go of his figure to join the army, he has long had no figure.

It's just that he is curious that the palace joins the army from the official position of Bapin, but this position is normally held by someone who trusts him enough, why did the other party make a special trip to find him?

I don't know him well, just because there is a Shuyi in the middle?

"How many soldiers do you want to recruit?" Xiao Maha asked.

Yang Ming knew that the other party was already moved, and hurriedly said: "According to the standard of the county king, two thousand armor can be placed." ”

"Oh...... That's not a small ......." Xiao Maha asked again: "Do you want me to help you train the government soldiers?" ”

"The recruitment and training are all done by you alone," Yang Ming continued: "Including the selection and construction of the barracks, it is all your business. ”

Xiao Maha said in a deep voice: "You give money, I do things, how do I do it, you won't intervene?" ”

Yang Ming nodded and smiled: "I just have to pay for it." ”

"Good!"

Xiao Moke is also a happy person, and he agreed very remarkably.

In fact, he also knows that he is idle in Kyoto, and there is no way out, and it is better to leave Daxing to find something to do than to stay here and get drunk and dream of dying.

Yang Ming didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly.

Xiao Maha in history, because he had been unwilling for a long time, became a staff member for Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and followed Yang Liang to make his father's rebellion, was captured by Yang Su, and then beheaded.

So in Yang Ming's view, Xiao Maha is a general, but he is definitely not a handsome talent.

What he really has high hopes for is Li Jing.
